Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of adult tickets

y ----> number of children tickets

we know that

Jane sold 100 tickets for her school auction

so

[tex]x+y=100[/tex] ----> equation A

Jane collected a total of $944

[tex]12x+8y=944[/tex] ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (36,64)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of adult tickets sold was 36 and the number of children tickets sold was 64
